The display is great for a smartwatch. You dont need a super high bleeding edge hd amoled screen that much as u just use it for glancing the time and notifications..

For the display you have a few options, tilt wrist to view, ambient mode (watch displayed in low power mode dimmed state), and swiping the screen to bring up the display back on. If u want to save more battery just turn of all these options and just rely on the swipe to turn on screen. To me, the side buttons are there for design aesthetic design purpose as a 'hard reset' option. Basically u wont be using the button at all with the voice commands available.

The wrist movement detection is good. if youre walking, the accelerometer knows that your hand is in walking position/axis and the screen will not light up accidentally. This is also true even for ambient mode where the ambient mode will turn off the screen when your hands are in downward position.

Battery varies with usage style. for mine, enough for a day 16-18hrs++, with ambient mode off - tilt to wake screen on - a few hundred steady flow notifications from whatsapp, google now, gmail, etc the whole day.. not remarkable, but acceptable to some people.

omg does always animate like that all the time during screen wake?

cool but will be darn annoying if ur in a rush. lol

contemplating on getting a steelconnect M adapter.. but kinda want to know wats the diff between the M180 and M225? initially i thot that M180 = 18mm band, and M225 = 22mm band, but the description on their web is both are 22mm.. is there any apparent diff other than the price?

Ahh.. ic.. thanks for the info! Couldnt see the web properly as using my office pc.. blocking a lot on their website.

Awesome! so M180 it is for me~!
